I can refresh everything

Xu Qingqing led Lu Qing away from the building.

Xu Qingqing drove Lu Qing to a hotel in Shou District.

Xu Qingqing ordered a private room.

After closing the door, Xu Qingqing casually sat on the sofa and said to Lu Qing, "This place was personally supervised and built by my husband."

"The security measures here are absolutely perfect."

"My husband and officials from the Shou Ward usually discuss transactions here."

As Lu Qing sat down on the sofa, he asked, "What does Miss Xu mean by this?"

Xu Qingqing did not answer immediately.

A moment later, there was a knock on the door of the private room.

Xu Qingqing said, "Come in."

A waitress came in carrying a wooden tray with cigarettes, drinks, and glasses on it.

Xu Qingqing took the cigarette, put one in her red lips, and then handed it to Lu Qing.

Lu Qing shook his head.

Xu Qingqing tossed the cigarette aside and exhaled a few smoke rings.

After the female waitress, waiters brought the dishes one after another.

Only after the dishes filled the table in the private room and the waiter closed the door did Xu Qingqing stand up, sit at the table, and gesture for Lu Qing to sit next to her.

Xu Qingqing rested her chin on her right hand and said, "I had someone search for your information before."

"Your name is Lu Qing, and you are the last disciple of the sect leader of the prestigious Kongchan Sect."

"With your distinguished status, how did you become a member of the Crimson Moon?"

Lu Qing glanced at Xu Qingqing.

This world has similar technology to Earth before I traveled there, and the internet is very advanced.

It's not easy for someone to hide their identity.

Of course, organizations like the Crimson Moon Organization that intentionally hide themselves are a different story.

He directly showed Xu Qingqing his true face, originally intending to let her know his true identity.

According to his memory, the prestigious Kongchan Sect, to which he belonged, had a small number of members, and everyone was very busy.

His senior brothers and sisters are also undergoing training.

Therefore, unless there are special circumstances, it would be difficult for the people of the Kongchan Sect to discover him.

Without the help of his senior brothers and sisters from the Kongchan Sect, and based on his understanding of Chiyue over this period of time, he was not confident that he could quickly grasp the relevant information about Chiyue's stronghold in Yucheng, and therefore would have no chance to escape safely.

He didn't want to escape only to be caught by Chi Yue again.

Of course, Lu Qing couldn't tell Xu Qingqing his true purpose.

Lu Qing just smiled and said with some helplessness, "I was captured alive."

"Professor Boyang of Red Moon admires me, so he deliberately set a trap to capture me."

"I'm surrounded by Akatsuki's spies."

"I still have Professor Bo Yang's poison in my body."

"The ingredients of that poison are unknown. According to Professor Bo Yang, it was specially developed by him. Without an antidote, I will die a terrible death."

"Everyone is afraid of death."

"so--"

Lu Qing poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and looked helpless.

Xu Qingqing was somewhat surprised to hear Lu Qing say this.

The reason turned out to be so simple and straightforward.

Xu Qingqing looked Lu Qing up and down.

Although Lu Qing's strength is not currently among the top in Xia Kingdom, his potential is outstanding.

In addition, he also has a sword bone in his body that is rare on Earth—a product of ancient bacteria.

Many research institutions have studied the sciatic bone.

The result was that tens of thousands of people died, and no second case of successfully producing a sword bone was found.

Xu Qingqing understood somewhat why Professor Bo Yang of Chiyue was so obsessed with Lu Qing.

She also cultivated a good relationship with Lu Qing.

Now that her husband has died, she needs to maintain and even expand the family business he left behind.

She needs a henchman like Lu Qing.

Currently, the existence of Crimson Moon behind Lu Qing is also necessary.

Without the Crimson Moon, Lu Qing himself was no match for it.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingqing said, "Although Chiyue has malicious intentions, you are indeed not suitable to leave Chiyue now."

"Especially with Professor Bo Yang standing behind you."

"Although I have never met Professor Bo Yang, I have heard of his great reputation."

"He had already conducted various studies on drugs in his early years."

"Later, he defected from the official research institute of our Xia Kingdom and went to the Chou Kingdom. He eventually joined the Red Moon Kingdom, and his various research and development drugs are very popular internationally."

"Gaining his favor will benefit your ability to improve your strength and gain a foothold in this world."

Lu Qing nodded.

He never expected that someone like Xu Qingqing could say anything to comfort him, nor did he expect her to be able to help him in any way.

However, since Xu Qingqing knows his true identity, she is very likely to spread it.

In the current situation, even with the refresh system, he needs to proceed with extreme caution.

Lu Qing didn't dwell on his own affair with Chi Yue, but instead asked, "Miss Xu, let's talk about the investigation into the mercenaries in Shou District."

Xu Qingqing then nodded and said, "The reason I specifically came here to see you is because I've also uncovered some information."

"It's safe enough here."

Lu Qing looked at Xu Qingqing with suspicion.

Xu Qingqing said, "This group of mercenaries seems to have connections with the second-in-command of Shou District."

Xu Qingqing gritted her teeth as she said this, "The top leader and the second-in-command are in a competitive relationship."

"My husband seemed to have a good relationship with the entire officialdom of the Shou Ward before his death."

"Actually, this is the most dangerous."

"I reminded him before that he treats me like a little girl."

Looking at Lu Qing, Xu Qingqing's beautiful eyes reddened as she said, "The officials of Shou District are eating my husband's food and taking my husband's money."

"My husband was killed this time, and these mercenaries were very likely the work of one of the top two leaders."

Xu Qingqing took a check out of her wallet and handed it to Lu Qing, saying, "There's another payment here, it's specifically for you."

"I won't break my promise like my husband."

"You can work with me with confidence and without worry."

"If I can securely inherit my husband's assets in the future, and even gain a foothold in Shou District, I assure you, Shou District will become the base of your Chiyue, especially your Lu Qing's base."

"We need each other."

Lu Qing took the check and glanced at it.

He had become somewhat numb.

And countless zeros again—

10 billion!

As Lu Qing put the check away, he said, "No problem."

The task Chi Yue assigned him this time was also to build a good relationship with Xu Qingqing.

Now that Xu Qingqing has not only offered him an olive branch but also given him so much money, why wouldn't he be happy to accept it?

Xu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Lu Qing had agreed.

Xu Qingqing poured herself and Lu Qing a glass of wine, took a sip, and said, "Then, let's make a happy decision and help each other from now on."

"As for the investigation into the mercenaries, you and your men will follow me for the next few days."

"The mercenaries from Shou District contacted my husband's uncle, the one you just killed, to discuss the distribution of profits in Shou District with my Dong family."

"Now that my husband's uncle is dead, and I am the heir of the Dong family, I must go."

"Bring your men with you then, to protect me and see if you can find anything."

"If we can find the person behind my husband's murder, that would be best."

"Whether he's the top leader or the second-in-command, I want them dead!"

Xu Qingqing downed the drink in her glass in one gulp, gritting her teeth as she said, "These corrupt officials, they eat and take from the Dong family all day long, and they still dare to be such ingrates."

"If we don't teach them a lesson, they'll never know who Shouqu belongs to!"
